An Erie man was jailed Tuesday night on charges of threatening people with a knife at a crowded city day care.

Manuel C. Andujar, 32, of the 700 block of Ash Street, was arraigned before Erie 1st Ward District Judge Sue Mack on charges of terroristic threats, recklessly endangering another person, possessing instruments of crime, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and failure to comply with a police order.

Police accuse Andujar of getting into a confrontation with a woman and a man while inside Safe Haven Christian Childcare, 314 E. 11th St., on Tuesday at about 3 p.m. Police said Andujar pulled out a folding knife and chased a man around the day care with it while about 20 children were inside, according to police and the criminal complaint.
